There's no reason -- we couldn't decide on whether to support
'end/-right' versions of most traversals. To add them you'd implement
them, send the patch to Duncan and I, for inclusion in bytestring 1.0.
Duncan -- did we ever sort out a policy on the left/right normal/-end
versions of things? breakEnd I use all the time, but perhaps we should
fix upon what api we are to provide.
